EGG-BEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 345,709, dated July 20, 1886.

Application filed December 24, 1885. Serial No. 186,599. (No model.)

To all whont it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDITH A. MARSH, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Albany, in the county of Floyd and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Egg-Beaters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to egg-beaters, and its object is to provide such an article whichshall be cheap and simple in construction and effective in beating eggs to a froth in a short time; and to this end my invention consists in forming from a single strip of flat iron wire a straight blade or rod and a scalloped or zigzagged blade arranged side by side,so that the two ends of the blades pass into holes in the end of a handle.

In the drawing, the figure represents a side elevation of my improved egg-beater. I

A indicates the handle, made of any suitable material. B indicates a double blade, formed of one piece of metal, but having the unlike portions b b. The straight portion b is firmly secured into the handle, and at its outer end forms a loop; and the other side is wrought into a series of scallops or other similar formations, the end being left straight to pass into the handle.

I do not confine myself to the particular form of scallop, and it is remarked that the egg-beater alone may be made of wire or of wire which has been passed between rollers and flattened; or wire may be first bent into the form desired, and then flattened by hammering or rolling, or otherwise. The scalloped blade and the straight blade are preferably brought to an edge.

I am aware that looped blades scalloped th roughout their lengths and operated by gearing for beating eggs and fluted spoon-bowls having a central opening are old, and this I do not claim. The article I have invented is made in open-work and shaped so that there may be no spattering of the egg when the heater is used. Broad surfaces always cause spattering of the egg.

I claim- An egg-beater consisting of the combination, with the handle, of asingle blade ofmetal made in the form of a loop, and having one side or portion of the looped blade scalloped and the other straight, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EDITH A. MARSH.
